Ehrlich's brother Jake, whose San Francisco case histories were the raw material for television's Sam Benedict series, argues exactly the opposite. When a trim little old lady turns up in court with every white hair in place, dressed in a powder-blue suit, says Jake, "I want her on that jury. She knows there's no such thing as rape."
